First, make sure they are specific, measurable,  attainable, realistic, and time-specific.

The more clear you are with what  you’re trying to accomplish,  

the easier it will be to figure out the  steps you need to take to get there.

Next, don’t bite off more than you can chew.

Instead of trying to accomplish  some monumental goal,  

break it down into smaller goals  that you are certain you can achieve.

As you accomplish these smaller  goals, you will build confidence,  

which will help carry you  through to the next goal.

Next, don’t rely on motivation.  Focus on building systems instead.

Get your environment to work with you. Make  

it easy to make good choices  and hard to make bad choices.

Set reminders to keep your  goals in the front of your mind.

Find an accountability buddy  to help keep you on track.

And lastly, don’t dwell on the setbacks. Nobody  will adhere to their New Year’s Resolution 100%.  

If you mess up, pick back up  immediately, and keep going.
